Previous journalism experience or education is not essential. We want people who care about their communities - and w’re especially keen to hear from people who believe they can help make our newsrooms more representative of the communities they serve.

The role is part of the Community News Project, a partnership between Facebook, local news publishers and the National Council for the Training of Journalists.

Key Responsibilities

You will receive industry-leading digital journalism training, as well as the gold-standard NCTJ journalism training to become a fully-trained journalist.

As a Community Reporter, your main role will be to engage with people in Kensington and Chelsea to curate, collate and create content relevant to them.

The Ideal Candidate

You do need to have at least 5 GCSEs with Maths and English at a C or above (or equivalent). We also welcome people who are doing a completely different job – and want to make a career change to become a journalist.

We are offering two routes into journalism as a result of this scheme. For applicants with no previous journalism experience or education, we are offering journalism apprenticeships, which combine intensive training with on-the-job experience in local communities.
